Today, I am using Spellbinders S4-291 Labels Fifteen die template and S4-286 2010 Snowflake Pendants die template. The S4-291 Labels Fifteen die template includes SIX various sized die templates valued at $24.99 MSRP or $4.17/die template. All may be used to cut/emboss and stencil. The S4-286 2010 Snowflake Pendants die template is an intricate snowflake design for the Shapeabilities® Pendants line. This highly detailed 12-sided snowflake has a center circle for stamping, writing or layering of other die template elements.

I decorated this little wooden house using both the Spellbinders S4-291 Labels Fifteen and S4-286 2010 Snowflake Pendants die templates.

To create the outermost window, I cut a piece of Cosmo CricketBreezy Freezy snowflake patterned paper to size, positioned and secured a S4-291 Labels Fifteen die template in place and ran through the GC-001 Grand Calibur to cut/emboss the window. After painting the wooden house, I adhered the darling Cosmo CricketBreezy Freezy snowflake patterned paper in place using Sparkle N Sprinkle Brushable Glue, then sponged the edges with distressing ink.

To create the inside window, I flipped over the original cut piece and adhered to the house then I stamped the snowman image and sentiment from Waltzingmouse Sewing Box - Christmas set on Kraft cardstock, using a S4-291 Labels Fifteen die template to cut/emboss around the images and set aside. I stamped the snowman image a second time on Vintage Cream cardstock, using Copic Markers to color the image then using a sharp scissors, I cut him out and adhered him to the Kraft colored label with SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES By 3L 3D Foam Squares.

I adorned the little house with shimmery snowflakes that were cut using the S4-286 2010 Snowflake Pendants die templates. I inked them up with VersaMark ink, applied some Sparkle N Sprinkle Stickum Powder, sprinkled on glitter and fastened a pearl brad in the center of each.

Very cute house; I'm not sure from your instructions how you did the front--is it cut out of foam core with the Spellbinders die? If so, I would love to know what kind of sandwich you would use for that!

Love the spellbinders dies. I would say I use them more than any dies or machines I have. And the Grands LOVE THEM! Have ordered 2 sets and can't wait to get them in. Beautiful work tfs and for the chance to winBarbara

What a cute project! I love the snowman from Christmas Hugs. He looks like he's ready to come inside! I love your idea to flip your double sided paper over after cutting. That will be on my "to do" list! TFS!

Mona, I love your little house! So perfectly decorated! I love that cut out in the front! It's not very clear how you did that... Did you cut the front "door", is it wood or foam, paper! Inquiring minds must know! Thanks!

omg - I love everything about this - the die of course, the cosmo cricket paper - the colors - not the norm and oh so cute, the entire project...I hear the dollars adding up already and this is just my first stopo...
